I is a pretty prime location to put the rapid fire key. Not sure if its a net gain as far as overall speed is concerned.

Some small tentative changes were just made to the suggested cgs in the reference doc in order to deal with units which are sometimes in small numbers (which get re-prioritized by buildings). Please take a look and post what you think .

Hmm... Is there ever really a time where you have less than 4 Mutas and Need to double tap to them?

@Zergies

If your interested, we could use some help testing possible changes to the Hatch/Lair/Hive

Queen = Closest key (J for ZRM)
Select Larva = Same as before (O for ZRM)
Overlord Speed = 3rd Homerow key (I for ZRM)
Drops= next key (K for ZRM)
Burrow = Same as before (H for ZRM)

Remember that we are looking for players to see if this is something they can get used to. It requires that you spam less and be more aware of your larva, otherwise you'll run into issues.

Thanks

Hey Jak, thanks for your continued hard work on TheCore! I can't imagine playing starcraft without it now.

I agree with slowbacon and zombie. If you don't already know what TheCore is, and don't/can't watch a video (maybe you're browsing at work, or you're in the middle of an awesome song that you don't want to pause), it takes a lot of digging through the OP to figure out what it is really all about. Here are a few suggestions:

(1) I remember when I was first looking at TheCore, I started to understand the basic philosophy better once I saw a picture with the new home row, and indications of where the control groups and ability keys go. These are now kind of hidden down in "visual aides." I would update these and put them prominently up near the top, as they succinctly communicate the really key innovation of TheCore. You could also move the "5 stages of the core" and the player survey into a spoiler near the bottom to de-clutter the OP a little bit.

(2) Make the download link more prominent! Big text closer to the top! Whenever I come back to the OP to download a new version, I have to hunt all over again for the download link. Plus, if you get people to download the file, they're more likely to then do some research and actually try it out.

(3) You also have to go all the way to the bottom to find the visualizer and the suggested control groups. These are both really useful when you're starting out, so I would put them up closer to the top. In fact, the whole "Download" section at the bottom of the OP should be near the top, right under your introduction (and maybe one visual aide). I would maybe create a simpler, easier to understand "suggested control groups" document/picture. It takes too much digging to actually figure out what you're supposed to put on different control groups. I know people will do their own thing with CGs to some extent, but knowing that in TRM most people do CC/upgrade buildings on P, Production Facilities on O, main army on ;, etc. is really important (and helps people understand how TheCore is designed to work).

Sorry for wall of text hah. Also, if you want any help with anything I mention above, I'm happy to lend a hand!

OP could also use a couple more spoiler containers, because now the scrolling feels endless and it detracts from overall user experience.

Also "5 stages" and "Why TheCore?" should be in the same section, because they essentially carry the same message.

Spoiler tag worthy:
1) Player votes
2) Resources
3) FAQ
4) Team

The GitHub history isn't the easiest to look through (we weren't tagging versions like we should have been), but you can download 0.6.3 from here: https://github.com/jonnyhweiss/TheCoreConverter/tree/cb0f23c83ff0ef67d938d5264f3a84639afeaa15

Definitely going to put it in the FAQ

Thanks everyone for helping with the OP organization. Presentation of the layout makes a big difference when someone is considering trying it out.

I think resources, FAQ and Team are spoiler worthy, however, the player poll gives a huge amount of credibility to TheCore, since we've had it up there have been less and less comments like "just do what's comfortable for you, that's the best layout" and "grid and standard are fine, this is a waste of time". I suspect its because looking at this thread (of which the 1200+ players is a strong data point) shows we're not fucking around and it isn't just a small group of fanatics that believe this to be best/better.

Download right at the top is an interesting idea. I am worried though, if we put it before the how to choose your version, that people will be confused. Maybe put it after the Why TheCore section with a bit of a rewrite?

I think that's it? Let me know if I missed anything.

I believe Jak's point is that if you use "rapid fire" with I it makes other functions used with I more difficult or impossible, and that I has too many important functions to render it less "spread out" utility in order to make creep spread slightly more efficient.
